Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

This comes after it topped a similar Which? poll in August last year to find the country’s best small airport with fewer than 10 million passengers.

And in July Saga members named the airport their favourite in the UK.

Robert Hough, chairman of Doncaster Sheffield Airport, said: “We’re proud to be judged the UK and the North’s best airport, this is great recognition of the exceptional customer service offered by every single member of the team.

“This has been a strong year for us, we have announced long-haul flights with TUI to Sandford, Florida, the region’s only long-haul service and new Wizz routes to Hungary. We have expanded to over 55 routes with many more in the pipeline”

Ian Smith, director of commercial and passenger experience at DSA, he said: “To win this award consistently, gives us great confidence in our plans for future growth and expansion.”

In the latest survey, DSA earned the highest score of 87 per cent after passengers were particularly impressed with its security queues, baggage reclaim, prices in shops and food outlets, seating, toilets and staff, all of which were given five stars.

Rory Boland, editor of magazine Which? Travel, said: "Travellers want to start their trips in the smoothest way, but long queues through airports and a lack of facilities can cast a rain cloud over any getaway.
